Machine-gun Officer in July, 1915, and was killed in action at Hooge, 30 July, 1915; unm. He was buried in Sanctuary Wood, Hooge. His Col. wrote speaking of him as a most promising officer. The circumstances of Lieut. Godsal's death were as follows: The battn. on leaving the trenches for rest had left their machine guns for the use of the relieving Battns., from whom they were captured by a sudden enemy assault, and on the 7th Battn. being brought back from their billets seven miles away to recover trenches the Col. ordered Lieut. Godsal to take up a position with his machine gun men, from whence when opportunity offered to advance and regain possession of the guns. It is now clear from the statement of Corpl. Molloy, who was within 20 yards of Lieut. Godsal when he was killed, that Lieut. Godsal did himself advance from this position and get possession of at least one of the guns, for the Corpl. saw him firing it at the enemy, and later saw him firing his revolver--probably when he recovered the gun he picked up only a small amount of ammunition--and later still heard a shout that he was killed, a shell having struck him in the face. Private King gallantly endeavoured to pull his body back into trench and was himself killed instantaneously. Corpl. Molloy accounts for Lieut. Godsal's recovering the gun by saying that he knew every yard of trench and ground as he was out frequently day and night making daring reconnaissances. The Corpl. added if ever anyone deserved the V.C. he did. [Illustration: =Alan Godsal.=] =GODWARD, ERIC JAMES=, 2nd Lieut., 1/7th Battn. Middlesex Regt.
